Celine Dion is a uniter, at least in the afterlife

In an election season of partisan strife, there is one song that can unite blue and red in a swirling pool of purple bliss – the soaring, chest-thumping crooning of Canadian pop singer, Celine Dion. (who also brought you Hillary Clinton’s campaign theme song, “You and I.”)An online survey of 453 people by www.legacy.com – “the Web’s dominant obituary resource and online memorialization site – which is neither scientific nor statistically significant, found that Republicans and Democrats alike have an affinity for Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” as the song they would like to be remembered by.

When asked what song title best summarizes how they would like be remembered at the end of their lives, both Republicans (33 percent) and Democrats (39 percent) chose Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” as their #1 choice.

“My Way” was a close second for Democrats (cited by 31 percent as their song of choice) and was, fittingly, the #1 choice for Independents.

To show how serious they are about this, the site even sent me a bar graph of the survey’s findings.
